Juventus Warn Emre Can That They May Look at Other Midfield Options if He Stalls on Agreeing Deal

Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has reiterated that the Italian champions are keen on signing Emre Can during the summer transfer window, but stressed that they would find alternatives if the German midfielder chose not to join them.

Liverpool midfielder Can has been heavily linked with a move to Turin when his contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season. The 24-year-old has been a key player for the Reds since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2014.

Marotta stated his admiration for Can's abilities as a player, and admitted that Juventus' interest was partly motivated by the bargain deal they could get for the German this summer.
